This month Hong Kong experienced its hottest day of the year. Many refugee families who live in small and hot subdivided flats thus came to our centre to enjoy the air conditioning service. This piece reviews the activities that happened at our centre throughout the month.
七月是香港全年最熱的月份。在酷熱天氣下，很多難民家庭難耐居於狹小和侷促的劏房，紛紛到本會的辦公室避暑。本文回顧了本會於過去一個月舉辦的活動。

ACTIVITIES AT A GLANCE 活動一覽
Although many of our activities are still suspended in view of the fluctuating epidemic condition, our centre continues to serve refugees in the city. A series of fundraising and community engagement work are ongoing.
雖然本會大部份活動仍然因疫情反覆而暫停，本會的辦公室仍然開放並如常提供服務。一系列的籌募和社區參與工作亦籌備得如火如荼。

本會有幸於本月下旬與Simon Mak和Nerris Lam會面。他們將協助本會推展有關籌募和社區參與的工作。本會衷心感謝Simon和Nerris的熱心幫忙。
High food prices keep creating a heavy burden on refugee families as they do not have enough money to get groceries. Hence, we launched another fundraising campaign to help refugees buy food and necessities. We sincerely ask for your support to the local refugee community.
本港生活成本高昂，物價飛漲，一直以來對難民家庭造成沉重的經濟壓力。本會於是發起另一項線上眾籌項目，協助本地難民家庭購買食物和必需品，懇請善心人士慷慨解囊。
GIVING IS A BLESSING 施比受更有福
